the man i want to be

Singer: jake scott

if i become the choices that i make

am i on the road that i should take?

'cause i've got all of these ambitions

but i'm afraid they take me down

but i don't want to end up wishing for the life i could have found

if these dreams get so bright that they're blinding

will i still know how to see?

when i write the last words of this story

will i be the man i want to be?

oh

will i be the man i want to be?

oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-oh-oh-oh

many men have tried and lost their way

sold their souls for fortunes made of flames

and i don't want to follow footsteps of tragedies and chasing fame

but i don't want to miss the first step and never live 'cause i was too afraid

if these dreams get so bright that they're blinding

will i still know how to see?

when i write the last words of this story

will i be the man i want to be?

oh

will i be the man i want to be?

oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-oh-oh-oh

if i got everything i've wanted

and stood beneath the lights on the stage

would the boy when i was young love the man that i've become

or would he even recognize my face?

and if these dreams get so bright that they're blinding

will i still know how to see?

when i write the last words of this story

will i be the man i want to be?

oh

will i be the man i want to be?

oh

will i be the man i want to be?
